The 30-Year Plan for Greater Adelaide |
|||||
Amid the rapidly changing ways in which we live, work, travel and relate to our environment, the challenges and opportunities for Adelaide's growth have rarely been greater. That is why the South Australian Government, driven by the Department of Planning and Local Government (DPLG) has developed The 30-Year Plan for Greater Adelaide (The Plan). The Plan is designed to guide development including urban planning, residential development, transport and infrastructure, population growth, and jobs. The Plan has been developed with input from many parties, including individual citizens, local government, business associations and industry, and importantly, the emergency management sector that includes hazard leaders and the fire and emergency services sector. Following consultation with the State Mitigation Advisory Group (SMAG) and Hazard Leaders a submission was forwarded to DPLG, resulting in a section addressing Emergency Management and Hazard Avoidance policies and targets within the Plan. |

The Plan addresses emergency management across all hazards, in the context of land-use planning. While the focus for emergency management is on prevention, preparedness, response and recovery, the Plan is focussed mainly on prevention and preparedness. High level policies include:
Specifically pertaining to fire and emergency services, the plan addresses:
Many of these policies and targets are consistent with the SA Fire and Emergency Service Sector Strategic Directions 2008-2014, particularly aligning with the priority areas of community engagement and resilience and building partnerships. Future development and implementation of the Plan will see SMAG and hazard leaders continue to work in partnership with DPLG to ensure that Emergency Management and Hazard Avoidance policies and targets are adequately addressed within regional plans. This has lead to the development of a SMAG working group to identify where the emergency management and land use planning frameworks intersect in order to progress and 'mainstream' Emergency Management and Hazard Avoidance policies and targets.
